Meaning & origin
Antwoin is a rare, modern American name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1972, during a period when creative spellings of traditional names like Anthony and Antoine were gaining traction. Its peak usage came in 1975, but even then it never broke into the national top 1000, reflecting its continued rarity. The name has since remained stable, with sporadic use each year, and no recorded usage in any particular state suggests it has never had a regional stronghold. Antwoin is part of a broader trend of respelled names from the 1970s that aimed to give a familiar sound a distinctive new look.
Antwoin is a modern American spelling variant of Antoine or Anthony, likely created by substituting the 'oin' ending for the more traditional 'oine' or 'ony'. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1972 and saw a brief period of modest use, peaking in 1975. The name has remained relatively rare, with a stable trajectory since the 1970s.
